that's a splashy bug, reassigning.

You can purge the splashy package or wait for a fixed splashy package.

That might be the underlying cause for the init script to malfunction,
but it is still an bug here in that the init script says [OK], and
return 1.

That's the log_end_msg function provided by splashy(/etc/lsb-base-logging.sh)
which causes this behaviour.
Nothing we can really do about anything in hal itself.
So, no it's not a bug in hal.

Cheers,
Michael
